girl fashion boys
Girls don't dress for boys....
fashion home light
When you're designing clothing, you really only have one point of focus, and that's the body. But home is fabrics and furniture and floors and natural light. If fashion is a planet, home is more like a universe.
fashion cutting feel-better
I never wanted to join fashion industry or being another Donna or another Dianne. I made clothes that I wanted to wear. I would cut, I would sew and I would wear, and it made me to feel better.
fashion looks
In the 60′s there was a look. In the 70′s there was a look, and in the 80′s. Now, it's a free-for-all.
fashion fun having-fun
Always have fun with fashion. Dress to entertain yourself.
girl fashion boys
Girls do not dress for boys. They dress for themselves, of course, each other. If girls dressed for boys, they'd just walk around naked at all times.
kids found working-women
If it hadn't been for the rise of the working woman's wardrobe, I never would have found the time to sneak a kid in.
hate dresses levels
I hate to say it, but the truth is that the upscale line is where I get respect as a designer. The higher the price range, the higher the respect level from the industry, even though it's much easier to make a great $500 dress than a great $100 dress.
too-much type limelight
I'm not the type of person who dwells too much on bad things.
excitement nightmare
There is an excitement about having nightmares.
clothes people support
It's just been so heartwarming to see my clothes on people in wheelchairs and people needing physical support.
wall faces your-face
I don't like to have time on my wall; it's too-in-your-face.
dancing acrobatics specialty
I was always dancing and acrobatics was my specialty.
cheerleading years nine
I was a cheerleader for nine years!
